CONTACT: Joyce Nugent (soulcircles@umcps.org)

DESCRIPTION: Soul Circles are gatherings where real connection comes first. They can happen anywhere, around a table, on a hike, in a classroom, or out in the community, and are designed to meet people right where they are. No pressure, no prerequisites, just a space to belong and be yourself. Each Soul Circle has its own flavor, some focus on conversation, creativity, service, music, or shared interests. but all are rooted in building relationships, exploring spirituality, and experiencing joy together. They’re flexible and always evolving, just like the people in them.

TIME-FRAME: Different dates and times depending on the Soul Circle. For a complete list CLICK HERE.
